Jeff Bezos visited India amid massive planned protests and an anticompetitive probe of Amazon and other e-commerce retailers by AngelAuYeung
into Amazon and Flipkart, an Indian ecommerce company . The commission alleges that both Amazon and Flipkart make deals with preferred sellers on their platforms that lead to “a foreclosure of other non-preferred sellers from the online marketplace.” The complaint points out how Amazon and Flipkart can influence pricing in a way that disadvantages small and medium businesses, such as giving higher discounts and preferential listing to brands that it favors.
The Competition Commission of India is a government organization, established in 2003, and consists of a chairperson and six members who are appointed by the central government in India. According to its, it is tasked with “ensuring that the ‘Common Man’ or ‘Aam Aadmi’ has access to the broadest range of goods and services at the most competitive prices.”
Meanwhile, Bezos is under fire from India’s small and medium business owners as well. The Confederation of All India Traders, a trade group that represents around 70 million merchants, isacross the country this week, purposely coinciding with Bezos’ visit. Shopkeepers want Amazon, Flipkart and other online retailers to follow guidelines, tightened by the government a year ago, that would prevent e-commerce platforms from engaging in heavy discounting and online-only deals.
